Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. In fact, I've reviewed themfour, but two of them did not apply and the code looked somewhat different,so I considered them irrelevant to 2.6.20. I didn't understand that theywere all related, so maybe I checked them in a wrong order.

I'll recheck all that in the right sequence and will merge them four, orget back to you if something still puzzles me.
